Oleanders are distinctive and beautiful, large, flowering shrubs that thrive with little care. They are very heat and drought-tolerant once established, and will grow especially well in seaside gardens, tolerating salt spray and wind. Oleanders generally grow best in the coastal areas of South Carolina. Most cultivars will be damaged or killed by winter cold in the Midlands and Piedmont.
Light: To ensure the Nerium Oleander thrives, provide it with ample sunlight. This plant flourishes in full sunlight, ideally receiving at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Placing it in a sunny location will encourage robust growth and enhance its beautiful flowers.
Watering: Nerium Oleander when it comes to watering, maintain a consistent routine to keep the soil evenly moist. While this plant can tolerate short periods of dryness, it prefers consistent moisture. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, especially during hot and dry spells, ensuring proper drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.
Basic Care: benefits from periodic pruning to maintain its shape and remove dead or overgrown branches. Pruning is typically carried out in late winter or early spring. Additionally, provide well-drained soil and apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
